President George W. Bush endorsed Tony Blair’s efforts to convene a conference to help the Arab "Palestinians" once Israel withdraws from the Gaza Strip.

The British reportedly do not want Israel to attend the conference, tentatively set for February. British Prime Minister Tony Blair, who will visit the Middle East this week, will attempt to persuade Israel that the conference will be narrowly focused on helping the Arab "Palestinians" build the institutions of state, a goal Israel supports.

"I appreciate the fact that Prime Minister Tony Blair is willing to help that process by holding a conference with ‘Palestinians’ that will help develop the state," President Bush declared.

A State Department spokesman said the United States probably would play a role at the conference.

The Balfour Declaration originally set aside the land of Israel and Jordan for the creation of the modern state of Israel and a Jewish homeland. The British later reneged and gave the Arabs the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, formerly known as Transjordan as part of the British Mandate, also known as the Palestine Mandate, which divided the land and gave the Arabs the larger piece. Arab "Palestine" is thus Jordan and giving the Arabs a second Arab "Palestine" in the ancient biblical and modern disputed territories of Gaza, Judea and Samaria (wrongfully called "West Bank") which belongs to Israel and the Jewish people biblically, historically, legally, morally, politically and rightfully.

Giving Gaza, Judea and Samaria is not only wrong its is succumbing to a successful and perpetual political propaganda ploy to the Arab band of thieves and terrorists.
